Luxurious Comfort All Year Round

A sublime, modern design masterpiece within the metropolis of Jakarta.

Get transported into a realm of relaxation in the hustle and bustle of the capital city of Indonesia. Be it for travel or leisure, Four Seasons has recently introduced a new addition to the family. It features a centerpiece 20-story tower in the heart of Jakarta’s commerce, entertainment and financial district. It highlights the essence of Indonesia presented by a collaboration between architect Cesar Pelli, interior designer Alexandra Champalimaud and landscape architect Bill Bensley.

Inspired by the Indonesian principles of transparency, interior designer Champalimaud who is a member of the Interior Designer Hall of fame, she created a journey of discovery for guests as they venture through different parts of the hotel maintaining a balance of history, modernity and surprise. What catches your eyes is the fusion of modern Indonesian artwork with murals of old Batavia, French classical lines, hand painted gold leaf ceilings, Eastern European chandeliers and traditional Javanese stonework and sculptures.

In the meantime, while wanting a more ‘in touch with nature’ feel, Bensley created lush greenery around the hotel that seamlessly integrate with the opulent interiors as it creates a tone (colour) while experimenting new languages of form. His signature piece; 19th-century French art-deco architectural details within the outdoor swimming pool and pool bar area. He is also a fan of rich paving, hanging daybeds, intricate trellis seating areas, carved stone fire torches and bronze sculptures. His philosophy of landscaping is to do the unexpected, never repeat or form; be unique.

Lobby

First impressions are key, with guests enveloped by the spirit of the space upon arrival, being inspired and awed as they walk into the impressive entrance. Importantly it retains a sense of the contemporary– a fitting allegory for the modernistic face of Indonesia’s effervescent capital.

THE SUITES
The 125 guest suites are a play on the introduction of international culture to Jakarta, such as the Dutch in the 17th Century. The suites capture the reciprocal nature of Asian/European cultures influencing each other.
